June Beauty Favourites

After searching for the perfect brow kit I stumbled upon this bargain Sleek palette in light which is amazing and great for squeezing in my handbag! The compact has a mirror, miniature pair of tweezers and two small brushes to apply both the eyebrow powder and wax. I'd say I use the powder inside the palette more but the wax is good for taming the brows as it gives shape and smoothes down any stray hairs. I would really recommend the light palette if you have pale skin and don't want your brows to look too dark.

The Revlon ColorBurst lip butter in Juicy Papaya has been a complete summer saviour as it's a cross between a lipstick and balm, so you don't need a mirror to apply it. I'd call it a juicy stick of coral perfection.

In my makeup bag there will always be a selection of neutral eyeshadows that I use to build up with brown shades to create a smoky eye. The Benefit longwear eyeshadows are really long-lasting and I've been using both Nude Swings and Call My Buff together daily.

This was my first Nars eyeshadow purchase and so far I've been loving this shade. It's a smoky, dark metallic shade that looks amazing with really full lashes and eyeliner.

Revlon Lash Potion Grow Luscious Mascara*

The new Revlon Lash Potion mascara is great for full-impact lash lovers like me as it has a large, round brush that really helps to lengthen the lashes, whilst creating lots of volume. I'm not entirely sure when this mascara is out yet but I will check for those who are interested! I'll pop up a full review on this mascara soon!

Another Nars treat! This lipstick is a gorgeous red/coral shade and I really like the fact it's semi-matte! It feathers and smudges a lot less than a high-shine lipstick so I thoroughly enjoyed wearing it on a night out as I didn't have to constantly re-apply.

Primark False Eyelashes

I've been meaning to let you in on this little secret for ages but I buy my false eyelashes from Primark (£1) and they are amazing! Primark have started to sell different types of lashes but this pair is simply a style that I think suits me! Considering most false eyelashes are £5-£6 each for one set, you can stock up on 5 pairs for the same price. Such a beauty bargain!
